Missing Maps Mapathon!

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.This open learning environment for all levels and degrees of knowledge offers intentional support for the beginner. Maptime is simultaneously flexible and structured, creating space for workshops, ongoing projects with a shared goal, and independent/collaborative work time.Beginners most welcome!

Maptime Madison

This month at Maptime Madison, we'll be working with the rest of the US Maptime community to help <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.missingmaps.org/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Missing Maps</A>, a group of nonprofits dedicated to mapping the world's most vulnerable populations. We'll give a brief introduction of what Missing Maps and <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://openstreetmap.org" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Open Street Map</A> are, how to edit and trace satellite imagery in Open Street Map, and start mapping! If you're unfamiliar with OSM, feel free to go through some of the <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.missingmaps.org/contribute/#learn" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Missing Maps' tutorials,</A> but we'll spend some time going through the basics.
Pizza is generously provided from Missing Maps! Please RSVP so we know how much to order. If you have a laptop, please feel free to bring it. We will also have about 10 laptops available for people to use.
